Admittedly, I am a little nuts about seeing lit up Chinese lanterns.
Every year, at about this time, I literally ache to attend The Chinese New Year Parade in San Francisco - but even I have to admit that my rationale for traveling over 1.700 miles to attend a parade - is a little weak.
OK, call me obsessed interested by all things Asian.
When I heard The Chinese Lantern Festival was in town, I was all over it.
At Dallas' Fair Park, it continues until February 17th.

| The Main Entrance |
 |
| The Imperial Dragon Boat |
 |
| The Porcelain Pagoda |
 |
| Over 52 feet high |
 |
| Built entirely from porcelain plates, cups, saucers, spoons and bowls |
 |
| The 'Wish' Tree |
 |
| Write your wish and attach to the tree...the wind will carry it to the Gods |
Except for the fact that the event food was scarce and of poor quality, The Chinese Lantern Festival was all I had hoped for and (at least, temporarily) soothed the San Francisco Chinese New Year Parade ache within my soul.
For this year, anyway.
